It took me 7 manuscripts before I had crafted a book that a publisher wanted.Įven though the first two books I wrote were mysteries, it was a historical western romance that was contracted. Yes, I didn’t sell my first attempt at writing a book. The seventh book I wrote, was contracted by a small press. Once I started writing every day, those went away. Before I started writing, my mind would dredge up all these horrible things that happened to him each time he was out on the road. My husband drove a semi-truck for thirty years of our marriage. It was several years after I started writing on a regular basis, that I realized I didn’t daydream about family members coming to harm anymore. My mind has always been filled with stories. When I had small children, I discovered I could make money writing freelance human interest stories for the two local newspapers. I started writing plays for our stuffed animals, then an ongoing story with two friends.
